      @@Rian-zf7ye The Stark endings made me wanna vomit. I kind of liked Starks in the beginning, they were never really anything too special for me, but I liked them well enough. Especially when Ned was around. I didn't like how Arya had this terrible overpowered assassin arc after leaving the Hound to die. Sansa has always been a bitch in the show and her being Queen just because is just horrible. It's that simple. Jon was likeable, I guess, but then he turned into an absolute retard in the last season or few seasons and the Targaryen thing was merely a plot device to make us think that what they did in s8 made any sense, which it absolutely didn't. Don't get me started on Bran.

      @monokhem I'll give credit to D&D for S1-S6, they were absolutely amazing. But once they ran out of material it became obvious that the story is better than them. Even if everything happens the same way (Daenerys goes "Mad Queen", Jaime dies trying to save Cersei, John returning to the wall etc.), It's about how and why these things happen. In S1-S6 everything happened for a reason and eventually everything makes sense. Hardly anything about S7-S8 make sense, things just happen because they needed to in order ot finish the story quick enough. D&D are trash compared to GRRM.

      Sure, it goes
      “Fire and blood” (which is the first half of Targaryen rule in Westeros)
      And then “A knight of the Seven Kingdoms” which takes place 100 years before the game of thrones show
      But if you wanted some of Robert’s rebellion then you could read “The world of Ice & Fire” but there’s literally only 5 pages on it. And that’s cuz this book is more of a giant history book of Westeros so it gives short snippets of each king and place in the world. But it’s a very big book with ALOT of information on everything.
      There is bits of “the long night” but not concrete stuff about it (the book is written in a way that’s it told my a Magester who says that it could be factual and it could be wrong, who knows). And there really isn’t a lot on the doom of Valeryia, but if you want to know more about that then it would be in Fire and Blood cuz it’s when the Targaryens left the east, one of their daughters could see the future and she tells her father we need to leave, so all the Targaryens leave Valyria. And everyone there is like ok cool whatevs, and then they all die

I can't pretend to know exactly how he's like, but I could imagine that he's somewhat more productive on Winds now. Fire & Blood came out awhile ago and he's not going to work on the second part until GoT is finished, or at least he stated someplace else. It's possible he is extremely blocked but I have faith he'll finished GoT, if not _everything_ else he wants to do.
